Khalil Shakir Misses Friday's Practice for Personal Reasons

Friday, November 6, 10:12 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir did not practice Friday due to personal reasons, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR 550. Shakir was present at Thursday's practice and was not listed on Buffalo's initial Week 9 injury report. The 26-year-old caught five of six targets for 64 yards in last Sunday's 36-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, bringing his season totals to 27 receptions for 354 yards and one touchdown across seven games. He has recorded at least 64 receiving yards in three of his last four appearances, remaining a consistent contributor to Josh Allen's passing attack. There has been no reported injury connected to Friday's absence, although Shakir's availability for Monday night's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings has not been formally clarified. Buffalo's final game-status report is scheduled for Saturday.

Tetairoa McMillan Remains a Must-Start Wide Receiver

Friday, November 6, 5:59 AM

Across seven games in 2026, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has recorded 42 catches for 569 yards and two touchdowns on 65 targets. The 23-year-old has had a strangely difficult time getting in the end zone, as he's been held without a touchdown in every game other than his massive two-score outing against the Detroit Lions in Week 4. McMillan's production has also slowed down lately, as he's failed to reach 60 receiving yards in back-to-back games. However, McMillan remains a high-volume pass-catcher, as he saw 11 targets in Carolina's Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite his recent struggles, McMillan remains a must-start wide receiver for fantasy managers going forward.
